Ian Rogers

Since then he's been a firsthand witness to the music's transition into the web era. VP of Yahoo music, CEO of Topspin Media, CEO of Beast, Head of Itunes for Apple and now CDO for LVHM, Ian Rogers combined his love for music and engineering skills to help companies go through their digital transformation.
